How do you balance your life with lpsg?
I don't.
I do have a lot of fun here and I'd like to visit LPSG more often, but it's so hard finding the time. I used to spend 2-3 hours here every day, but it's now impossible. I don't know how I ever managed it in the first place. Now I'm lucky to get 2-3 hours a month - today is my first visit in 3 weeks.
It changed in the middle of last year: I had to go away - it was only for one night, but the preparation kept me busy for a few days before and when I came back I was tired so I let it slide for a couple of days. I have another forum I like to visit as well so I kept putting it off because I'd have so much catching up to do. I'd have needed a whole day - or even two - to catch up, but I couldn't find it. And of course the longer I put it off, the more catching up there would be. In the end, my 'one week' off LPSG turned into six months!
When I did finally return (dreading all the catch-up), I found it hard to get back into the swing of things. Ever since then, I just can't seem to find the time to make regular visits. Which is a real shame because I have a few friends I used to have deep PM conversations with nearly every day and I've kinda lost touch with them.
